I see the OP decided, but for others looking, I went with the Craftsman Professional yellow. Works great and no issues to report after several years of use.

I have the Craftsman yellow since '09, and it is adequate for baggers. Not super stable, but it works. I'd much rather have a J&S.

What I don't like about it is that I have to use spacers to lift my Dyna. You don't have that problem with a J&S.

I read all the reviews on the Chinese jacks and won't put my 900 lb Ultra in the air with an aluminum POS jack. I ordered a J&S today

J&S vote from me. Been using it for years. Had the bottle go once, they immediately replaced it. Thing is super sturdy, particularly when all the way up

I got the Craftsman red several years ago. I wanted the yellow one, but at the time my $$ wouldn't allow it.


One thing about the red one, though - - it has a much wider base, and I can't help but wonder if maybe it's a little more stable when the bike is up in the air.

I bought my Pit Bull lift at the ROT rally a couple of years ago. Nice lift nice quality. And didn't have to pay for shipping witch save like 80 bucks. Go to YouTube and watch there video that change your mind on witch lift to buy.

It's not the 900 lb, its the $XXk that I base my reasoning on spending the $450 on for a stable jack. If others are good with their jack of choice, that's good enough for me to respect.
